- chainless food filling machines In the heterogeneous state of the art, there is an endless drive means, in particular in the form of a chain, to which the support elements are fastened and conveyed through the installation.
- EP 1495997 B1 instead describes a device in which the support elements are arranged with their mutually facing end faces to each other, and are pushed unconnected by at least one of the Hauptrümer.
- Different drive types are disclosed, such as the drive by means of a linear piston or a worm drive.
- EP 1495997 B1 In addition to closed side decks, through which the cell boards are moved on arcuate rails from the upper strand into the lower strand and back, shows EP 1495997 B1 also two lateral movements forming hoists, in which the support elements are inserted into endless revolving recordings and moved between the Hauptrümern.
- the object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1, in particular with the characterizing features, according to which the hoist has an exclusively vertically movable lifting device for transferring the support elements of a main strand in the other main strand.
- the main advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it manages without the circulation of recordings for the cell boards and so in particular no rotating waves or the like are provided.
- a particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the units of the lifting mechanism are arranged outside a movement path of the support elements through the respective main run.
- Such a designed hoist simplifies the so-called format change, so the change of the support elements for filling other types of containers and sizes, considerably, since the trajectories of the support elements in the Hauptrümern are freely accessible.
- the support elements without obstruction by Hubwerksaggregate and / or mechanics at the end of the respective main run can be easily removed or simply incorporated at the beginning of the respective main run.
- the side members with their hoists no longer hinder the removal of the support elements on the side of the center.
- the lifting device is provided with runner sections, which can be incorporated for receiving the support elements in the running surfaces of the Kleinrümer.
- the essential advantage of this embodiment is that no separately manufactured holding elements must be used, which have to receive the support elements. Instead, the support member is postponed to continue its trajectory from the main strand, without having to be incorporated into a separate device.
- the hoist has a guide device, the one positionally stable arrangement ensures a support element in the hoist during the vertical movement.
- the guide device is designed as a vertical rail, in which engages a positioning pin of the support element during the vertical movement of the lifting device.
- the lifting mechanism has a holding means which a support element in a horizontal orientation for inclusion in a Feldtrum even without support of the lifting device holds.
- the holding means is a U-rail, which holds the support member in vertical position for incorporation into a main run.
- the lifting mechanism carries the drive for conveying the support elements through a main strand, in particular when the drive has an active element which at the same time incorporates a support element into a main strand and moves the remaining support elements through the same main strand.
- the active element is a stationary arranged gear, whose axis of rotation is arranged in the vertical parting plane between the main strand and the side center.
- a device according to the invention is designated overall by the reference numeral 10.
- the device 10 is used for filling of liquid to pasty food in containers 11, which are guided by means generally designated by the reference numeral 12 supporting elements through the device 10 along not shown workstations.
- the device 10 itself is subdivided into an upper strand OT which is oriented horizontally with respect to the base surface of the device 10 and a lower strand UT arranged parallel thereto.
- the workstations for handling the containers 11 are located above the upper run OT, but there are also systems in which the upper run OT and Untertrum UT are arranged, and the containers 11 are treated primarily in the lower run UT. For this reason Obertrum OT and Untertrum UT can also be called main rums.
- Fig. 1 illustrated device 10 In order to ensure a circulation of the support elements 12, they are moved over by waytrümer ST between the Haupttrümern.
- the support members 12 pass through in Fig. 1 illustrated device 10, for example, from the left side center ST, which is provided with a drive 13, in the conveying direction w to the right side center ST, which carries a braking device 14.
- Drive 13 and braking device 14 limit the upper strand OT.
- the support elements 12 then pass over the right side center ST, which is designed as a later to be described in more detail hoist 15, in the lower strand UT. From there, the support member 12 is moved back to the left side center ST and moved vertically by the local lifting 15 up to the level of the upper strand OT and incorporated into the upper strand OT.
- Fig. 6 is a generally designated by the reference numeral 12 supporting element of the device 10 is shown. It comprises in the present embodiment, a sheet-like or plate-like trained cell board 16, which is provided with a plurality of receptacles 17 for container 11.
- the receptacles 17 are arranged transversely to the conveying direction w in rows next to each other and in the conveying direction w in tracks one behind the other.
- the support member 12 further comprises on the cell board 16 mounted toothed bars 18, in which the drive 13 engages to move the support member 12 in the conveying direction w. Also, the braking device 14 engages in the toothed racks 18 to the cell board assembly, the in Fig. 1 in the upper strand OT is ordered to be able to delay controlled.
- the rack 18 also carries rollers 19 on which the support member 12 is moved to runners 20 through the device 10. Finally, the toothed racks 18 also carry positioning pins 21, which will be discussed below.
- Fig. 2 is a partial view of the device 10 is shown. Shown is primarily the area of the left-side side center ST with a view of its total designated 15 hoist.
- the hoist 15 is formed approximately toroidal or frame-like and initially comprises two side cheeks 22 which are fixedly mounted on a machine table 23 and connected to each other via stabilizing strips 24. Between machine table 23 and stabilizer bar 24, the upper strand OT and the lower strand UT are arranged with their running rails 20.
- Fig. 2 can be seen well, the running rails 20 of upper strand OT and Untertrum UT are arranged within the frame contour formed by the side cheeks 22, so that formed by the rails 20 of upper strand OT and Untertrum UT trajectory of the support elements in the formed by the hoist 15 Side center is free.
- the lifting mechanism 15 further comprises guide devices arranged outside the movement path of the support elements 12 in the form of vertical rails 25. These extend along the travel path of the support element 12 between lower run UT and upper run OT. Also holding means in the form of horizontal rails 26 are part of the hoist 15. They are arranged in the plane of the cell boards 16 in the upper strand OT and in the direction of movement of the support members 12 engageable. For this purpose, they are provided with the outside of the side cheeks 22 arranged adjusting cylinders 27.
- the side cheeks 22 carry a drive shaft 28, on which 22 toothed wheels 29 are arranged in the region of each side cheek.
- a motor 30 the arranged on the axis 28 gears 29 are rotated and engage in the toothed racks 18 of the support members 12 of the upper strand OT and the side center ST, if the support member 12 of the side center ST is arranged in the plane of the upper strand OT.
- the toothed wheels 29 move both the support element 12 arranged in the upper strand OT and the support element 12 arranged in the side center ST in the plane of the upper strand OT in the conveying direction w.
- the lifting device of the hoist is designated overall by the reference numeral 31 and in particular comprises two runner sections 32, which are each coupled to a reciprocating piston 33.
- These running bar sections 32 are arranged in a plane spanned by the superposed running rails 20 of the upper run OT and the lower run UT, so that they are aligned depending on the vertical position either with the running rails 20 of the upper run OT or the running rails 20 of the lower run UT.
- the running-bar sections 32 are guided on vertical struts 34.
- Fig. 4 shows a further enlarged detail of the hoist 15th
- the tread portion 32 is located in alignment in the conveying direction w in front of the associated running bar 20 of the upper strand OT in the side center ST.
- the conveying direction w runs in Fig. 4 perpendicular to the paper plane.
- On the running rail portion 32 sits a support member 12 with its rollers 19.
- the lifting device 31 has in the representation of Fig. 4 carried the support member 12 in the plane of the upper strand OT.
- the cell board 16 is aligned with the receiving recess of the U-shaped horizontal rail 26 aligned. Below the runway section 32, the running bar 20 of the lower run UT can be seen.
- FIG. 5 corresponds essentially to the representation of the Fig. 4 ,
- the main difference too Fig. 4 is that the actuating cylinder 27 is engaged and the horizontal rail 26 has moved against the arranged parallel to the conveying direction side portions of the cell board 16.
- the horizontal rail 26 thus receives the cell board 16 in its receiving recess and holds it in the plane of the upper strand OT.
- the runner portion 32 is moved by means of the reciprocating piston 33 in the direction Untertrum UT, without the illustrated support member 12 is already incorporated into the upper strand OT itself.
- This is accordingly in Fig. 5 represented, so that now in the upper strand OT, the running bar 20 is visible in Fig. 4 was still covered by the aligned runway section 32.
- the support elements 12 on rollers 19 first pass through the upper strand OT from the drive 13 in the conveying direction w to the braking device 14.
- the support members 12 are of the drive 13 against the braking device 14 in the right-hand side center ST of Fig. 1 spent, which has a hoist 15, which is formed analogously to the above-described hoist 15 of the drive-side side center ST.
- the support elements 12 are moved vertically down into Untertrum UT and out there by means of a conveyor not described in detail, such as by means of a toothed belt in the conveying direction z to the left-side side ST.
- the left-side hoist 15 moves the support members 12 vertically back into the plane of the upper strand OT, from where they are reintegrated by the drive 13 in the upper strand OT.
- the support elements 12 are arranged on the runway sections 32 of the lifting device 31 separated from the running rails 20.
- the positioning pins 21 are arranged in alignment with the vertical rails 25, as in particular Fig. 2 evident.
- FIG. 2 this is in Fig. 2 to promote in the plane of the lower run UT in the side center ST supporting element 12 in the plane of the upper strand OT.
- the lifting device 31 moves vertically in the direction upper strand OT upwards, the positioning pins 21 engage in the vertical rail 25, so that with respect to the longitudinal axis of the device 10 correct orientation of the support member 12 is ensured in the side center ST.
- the cell board 16 is in horizontal alignment with the horizontal rails 26 (see FIG Fig. 4 ).
- the actuating cylinders 27 move the horizontal rail 26 so that their receiving recesses enclose the cell board 16 and hold it in the plane of the upper strand OT.
- the lifting device 31 moves now the tread portions 32 back into the plane of the lower run UT (see Fig. 5 ).
- the supporting element 12 mounted in the plane of the upper strand OT in the side center ST has not yet been incorporated into the upper strand OT.
- the hoist 15 of the side members ST impresses in particular by the fact that no aggregates within the trajectories of the support elements 12 in the upper strand OT or Untertrum UT are arranged.
- the support elements can be quickly and easily removed from the side decks ST and against support elements of other types and quality it will be exchanged.
- a so-called format change in which the device 10 is retrofitted for filling other types of container, can be done quickly and easily.

Die in
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe von einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, insbesondere mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen, wonach das Hubwerk eine ausschließlich vertikal verfahrbare Hubeinrichtung zur Überführung der Tragelemente von einem Haupttrum in das andere Haupttrum aufweist.The object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1, in particular with the characterizing features, according to which the hoist has an exclusively vertically movable lifting device for transferring the support elements of a main strand in the other main strand.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung liegt insbesondere darin, dass sie ohne den Umlauf von Aufnahmen für die Zellenbretter auskommt und so insbesondere keine rotierende Wellen oder Ähnliches vorzusehen sind.The main advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it manages without the circulation of recordings for the cell boards and so in particular no rotating waves or the like are provided.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform kennzeichnet sich dadurch, dass das die Aggregate des Hubwerks außerhalb einer Bewegungsbahn der Tragelemente durch das jeweilige Haupttrum angeordnet sind.A particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the units of the lifting mechanism are arranged outside a movement path of the support elements through the respective main run.
Ein derart gestaltetes Hubwerk vereinfacht den sogenannten Formatwechsel, also den Wechsel der Tragelemente zur Befüllung anderer Behälterarten und Größen, erheblich, da die Bewegungsbahnen der Tragelemente in den Haupttrümern frei zugänglich sind. So können die Tragelemente ohne Behinderung durch Hubwerksaggregate und/oder Mechaniken am Ende des jeweiligen Haupttrums einfach entnommen werden bzw. am Anfang des jeweiligen Haupttrums einfach eingegliedert werden. Erfindungsgemäß behindern die Seitentrümer mit ihren Hubwerken nicht länger das seitentrumseitige Entnehmen der Tragelemente.Such a designed hoist simplifies the so-called format change, so the change of the support elements for filling other types of containers and sizes, considerably, since the trajectories of the support elements in the Hauptrümern are freely accessible. Thus, the support elements without obstruction by Hubwerksaggregate and / or mechanics at the end of the respective main run can be easily removed or simply incorporated at the beginning of the respective main run. According to the invention, the side members with their hoists no longer hinder the removal of the support elements on the side of the center.
Es ist weiterhin vorgesehen, dass die Hubeinrichtung mit Laufleistenabschnitten versehen ist, die zur Aufnahme der Tragelemente in die Laufleistenebenen der Haupttrümer eingliederbar sind.It is further provided that the lifting device is provided with runner sections, which can be incorporated for receiving the support elements in the running surfaces of the Hauptrümer.
Der wesentliche Vorteil bei dieser Ausführungsform ist, dass keine gesondert anzufertigenden Haltelemente eingesetzt werden müssen, die die Tragelemente aufzunehmen haben. Stattdessen wird das Tragelement zur Fortsetzung seiner Bewegungsbahn aus dem Haupttrum hinausgeschoben, ohne in eine gesonderte Vorrichtung eingliedert werden zu müssen.The essential advantage of this embodiment is that no separately manufactured holding elements must be used, which have to receive the support elements. Instead, the support member is postponed to continue its trajectory from the main strand, without having to be incorporated into a separate device.
Um eine hinsichtlich der Längsachse der Vorrichtung saubere Axialausrichtung der Tragelemente auf ihrem Weg zwischen den Haupttrümern und zur jeweiligen Wiedereingliederung sicherzustellen, und um sicherzustellen, dass das Tragelement positionssicher zwischen den Haupttrümern verfahren werden kann, ist vorgesehen, dass das Hubwerk eine Führungseinrichtung aufweist, die eine positionsfeste Anordnung eines Tragelementes im Hubwerk während der Vertikalbewegung sicherstellt.In order to ensure a clean axial alignment of the support elements with respect to the longitudinal axis of the device on their way between the main debris and the respective reintegration, and to ensure that the support member can be moved positionally safe between the main debris, it is provided that the hoist has a guide device, the one positionally stable arrangement ensures a support element in the hoist during the vertical movement.
Konkret ist vorgesehen, dass die Führungseinrichtung als Vertikalschiene ausgebildet ist, in die ein Positionierstift des Tragelementes während der Vertikalbewegung der Hubeinrichtung eingreift.Specifically, it is provided that the guide device is designed as a vertical rail, in which engages a positioning pin of the support element during the vertical movement of the lifting device.
Um bei den hohen Taktraten der gattungsgemäßen Abfüllvorrichtung für Nahrungsmittel eine entsprechende Eingliederung von Tragelementen aus den Seitentrümern in die Hauptrümer zu gewährleisten, ist vorgesehen, dass das Hubwerk ein Haltemittel aufweist, welches ein Tragelement in horizontaler Ausrichtung zur Eingliederung in ein Haupttrum auch ohne Unterstützung der Hubeinrichtung hält.In order to ensure a corresponding incorporation of support elements from the Seitentrümern in the Hauptrümer at the high clock rates of the generic filling device for food, it is provided that the lifting mechanism has a holding means which a support element in a horizontal orientation for inclusion in a Haupttrum even without support of the lifting device holds.
So ist gewährleistet, dass das Tragelement zur Eingliederung ins Haupttrum bereit steht, das Hubwerk zur Aufnahme des nächsten Tragelementes jedoch wieder in das andere Haupttrum verfahren werden kann.This ensures that the support element is ready for integration into the main run, but the lifting mechanism for receiving the next support element can again be moved into the other main run.
Konkret ist vorgesehen, dass das Haltemittel eine U-Schiene ist, die das Tragelement in Vertikalposition zur Eingliederung in ein Haupttrum hält.Specifically, it is provided that the holding means is a U-rail, which holds the support member in vertical position for incorporation into a main run.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Hubwerk den Antrieb zur Förderung der Tragelemente durch ein Haupttrum trägt, insbesondere wenn der Antrieb ein Wirkelement aufweist, welches zeitgleich ein Tragelement in ein Haupttrum eingliedert und die übrigen Tragelemente durch dasselbe Haupttrum bewegt.In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the lifting mechanism carries the drive for conveying the support elements through a main strand, in particular when the drive has an active element which at the same time incorporates a support element into a main strand and moves the remaining support elements through the same main strand.
Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass das Wirkelement ein ortsfest angeordnetes Zahnrad ist, dessen Rotationsachse in der vertikalen Trennebene zwischen Haupttrum und Seitentrum angeordnet ist.Furthermore, it is provided that the active element is a stationary arranged gear, whose axis of rotation is arranged in the vertical parting plane between the main strand and the side center.
Dies ermöglicht es, dass das Tragelement mittels der Hubeinrichtung von hinsichtlich der Standfläche der Vorrichtung unten her an das Wirkelement des Antriebs herangeführt ist.This makes it possible that the support element is brought by means of the lifting device from below with respect to the footprint of the device to the active element of the drive.

Das Tragelement 12 weist ferner auf dem Zellenbrett 16 montierte Zahnleisten 18 auf, in welche der Antrieb 13 eingreift, um das Tragelement 12 in Förderrichtung w zu bewegen. Auch greift die Bremseinrichtung 14 in die Zahnleisten 18 ein, um den Zellenbrettverbund, der in
Die Zahnleiste 18 trägt darüber hinaus Rollen 19, auf denen das Tragelement 12 auf Laufleisten 20 durch die Vorrichtung 10 bewegt wird. Letztlich tragen die Zahnleisten 18 auch Positionierstifte 21, auf die im Folgenden noch eingegangen wird.The

Das Hubwerk 15 ist etwa torartig oder rahmenartig ausgebildet und umfasst zunächst zwei Seitenwangen 22, die stehend auf einem Maschinentisch 23 befestigt und über Stabilisierungsleisten 24 miteinander verbunden sind. Zwischen Maschinentisch 23 und Stabilisierungsleiste 24 sind das Obertrum OT und das Untertrum UT mit ihren Laufleisten 20 angeordnet.The hoist 15 is formed approximately toroidal or frame-like and initially comprises two
Wie der
Das Hubwerk 15 umfasst weiterhin außerhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Tragelemente 12 angeordnete Führungseinrichtungen in Form von Vertikalschienen 25. Diese erstrecken sich entlang des Verfahrweges des Tragelementes 12 zwischen Untertrum UT und Obertrum OT. Auch Haltemittel in Form von Horizontalschienen 26 sind Teil des Hubwerkes 15. Sie sind in der Ebene der Zellenbretter 16 im Obertrum OT angeordnet und in Richtung Bewegungsbahn der Tragelemente 12 einrückbar. Hierzu sind sie mit außen an den Seitenwangen 22 angeordneten Stellzylindern 27 versehen.The
Letztlich tragen die Seitenwangen 22 eine Antriebsachse 28, an welcher im Bereich einer jeden Seitenwange 22 Zahnräder 29 angeordnet sind. Mitteils eines Motors 30 werden die auf der Achse 28 angeordneten Zahnräder 29 in Rotation versetzt und greifen in die Zahnleisten 18 der Tragelemente 12 des Obertrums OT sowie des Seitentrums ST ein, sofern das Tragelement 12 des Seitentrums ST in der Ebene des Obertrums OT angeordnet ist. Die Zahnräder 29 bewegen sowohl das im Obertrum OT angeordnete Tragelement 12 als auch das im Seitentrum ST in der Ebene des Obertrums OT angeordnete Tragelement 12 in Förderrichtung w.Ultimately, the
Die Hubeinrichtung des Hubwerks ist insgesamt mit der Bezugsziffer 31 bezeichnet und umfasst insbesondere zwei Laufleistenabschnitte 32, die mit je einem Hubkolben 33 gekoppelt sind. Diese Laufleistenabschnitte 32 sind in einer durch die übereinander angeordneten Laufleisten 20 des Obertrums OT und des Untertrums UT aufgespannten Ebene angeordnet, so dass sie je nach Vertikalposition entweder mit den Laufleisten 20 des Obertrums OT oder den Laufleisten 20 des Untertrums UT fluchtend ausgerichtet sind. Zur sicheren Vertikalführung der Laufleistenabschnitte 32 mittels der Hubkolben 33 sind die Laufleistenabschnitte 32 an Vertikalstreben 34 geführt.The lifting device of the hoist is designated overall by the
Der Laufleistenabschnitt 32 befindet sich fluchtend in Förderrichtung w vor der zugehörigen Laufleiste 20 des Obertrums OT im Seitentrum ST. Die Förderrichtung w läuft in
Die Darstellung der
Die Funktion der Vorrichtung insbesondere des Hubwerkes wird nun im Folgenden dargestellt:The function of the device, in particular of the hoist, will now be described below:
Wie schon vorerwähnt, durchlaufen die Tragelemente 12 auf Rollen 19 zunächst das Obertrum OT ausgehend vom Antrieb 13 in Förderrichtung w bis zur Bremseinrichtung 14. Antrieb 13, genauer die Antriebsachse 28, und die Bremseinrichtung 14 mit ihrer nicht näher bezeichneten Antriebsachse bilden den Anfang und das Ende des Obertrums OT aus.As already mentioned, the
Die Tragelemente 12 werden vom Antrieb 13 gegen die Bremseinrichtung 14 in das rechtseitige Seitentrum ST der
Im Hubwerk 15 selbst sind die Tragelemente 12 auf den von den Laufleisten 20 separierten Laufleistenabschnitten 32 der Hubeinrichtung 31 angeordnet. Die Positionierstifte 21 sind fluchtend zu den Vertikalschienen 25 angeordnet, wie es insbesondere aus
Nunmehr ist das in
Ist das Tragelement 12 im Seitentrum ST in der Ebene des Obertrums OT angeordnet, befindet sich das Zellenbrett 16 in horizontal fluchtender Ausrichtung mit den Horizontalschienen 26 (siehe
Die Eingliederung erfolgt nun im nächsten Schritt, indem das Zahnrad 29 des Antriebs 13 entsprechend in Rotation versetzt wird und das Tragelement 12 in das Obertrum OT hinein schiebt. Wie in Zusammenschau mit
Das Absenken ins Untertrum UT erfolgt dann in umgekehrter Weise. Die Laufleistenabschnitte 32 befinden sich zum Zeitpunkt des Eintritts des Tragelementes 12 in das mit Bremseinrichtung 14 versehene Seitentrum ST nach Möglichkeit bereits in der Ebene des Obertrums OT. Das auf dem dortigen Laufleistenabschnitten 32 nunmehr aufsitzende Tragelement 12 wird vertikal nach unten in die Ebene des Untertrums UT verfahren, wobei die axiale Ausrichtung wiederum durch Vertikalschienen 25 gesichert ist. Im Untertrum UT zieht eine nicht näher dargestellte Fördereinrichtung, wie beispielsweise der vorgenannte Zahnriemen, das Tragelement 12 zurück zu seinem Ausgangspunkt im antriebsseitigen Seitentrum ST.The lowering into Untertrum UT is then in the reverse manner. The
Abgesehen von seinem vergleichsweise einfachen Aufbau besticht das Hubwerk 15 der Seitentrümer ST insbesondere dadurch, dass keinerlei Aggregate innerhalb der Bewegungsbahnen der Tragelemente 12 im Obertrum OT oder Untertrum UT angeordnet sind. Infolgedessen können die Tragelemente schnell und einfach an den Seitentrümern ST entnommen werden und gegen Tragelemente anderer Art und Güte getauscht werden. So lässt sich ein sogenannter Formatwechsel, bei welchem die Vorrichtung 10 zur Befüllung andersartiger Behälter umgerüstet wird, schnell und einfach bewerkstelligen.Apart from its comparatively simple construction, the hoist 15 of the side members ST impresses in particular by the fact that no aggregates within the trajectories of the
